Since the values in $array[0] are not necessarily unique, this potentially replaces the contents of $hash{$array[0]}. You need a HoAoH, or some variant thereof.

Output (note the single entry for 'jennifer', for example): 

$VAR1 = {
          'jack' => {
                      'JHuffman@pulsetech.net' => 'cannot find your ho
+stname'
                    },
          'jobs' => {
                      'kwillis@cors.com' => 'Host not found'
                    },
          'jennifer' => {
                          'Warranty@onlogixx.com' => 'cannot find your
+ hostname'
                        },
          'tim' => {
                     'millionairemaker@freshcornam.com' => 'cannot fin
+d your hostname'
                   },
          'susan' => {
                       'linda@kepro.com.tw' => 'cannot find your hostn
+ame'
                     },
          'russ' => {
                      'orders@koss.com' => 'Host not found'
                    },
          'employment' => {
                            'LifeShopDirect@freshcornam.com' => 'Host 
+not found'
                          },
          'clara' => {
                       'Sandra@camrpc.com' => 'Host not found'
                     }
        };
